John Scott – A Very Modern Accountant

John is a highly dedicated individual who loves and knows his craft.

He understands the ever-changing business landscape and embraces disruptions. He is constantly on the hunt for new and innovative applications that can improve the business systems and processes that facilitate growth for his clients.

His obsession with cloud-based applications has earned him the moniker of “A Very Modern Accountant” (John’s age notwithstanding).

John is highly skilled in using his tax and accounting knowledge to project-manage financial transactions by bringing together the legal, financial planning, finance, and other services in the most efficient and effective manner.

The effectiveness of his project management and advisory skills results in significant savings in both time and money for his clients. He values growth and strives to do the same for his clients and the Fraser Scott team.

John’s ability to share his knowledge, wisdom and experience have earned him a well-deserved reputation of a brilliant mentor.

John is a member of CA and a Fellow of CPA Australia, holds a Bachelor of Economics degree, and has 30 years’ experience in banking & finance, equity markets, and accounting & tax. He is perfectly placed to advise across all aspects of the business.

When he is not in front of the clients and manages to escape the office, he enjoys travelling across Australia with his two cocker spaniels and dreams of one day owning a farm.

Monique Maglalang – Technical Expert In Training

Monique is a driven individual who loves to constantly ask questions and challenge ideas. She revels in tackling complex tax matters and strongly believes in always following best practices.

Monique is a big fan of doing complex tasks in the simplest, most efficient and paperless way. She is an expert user of cloud-based solutions such as Xero, Practice Ignition, and NowInfinity, to name a few. Like the rest of the Fraser Scott team, she strongly believes that cloud-based apps are the future of modern accounting.

She values customers’ satisfaction and aims to make the customer experience as simple and painless as possible.

Monique has been a part of the Fraser Scott team since 2016. She graduated from The University of New South Wales with a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Finance and Taxation and is currently studying to become a Chartered Accountant.

Her current role involves crunching numbers, researching, querying and checking for compliance.

Outside of work, she enjoys going to cafes, playing with her Labrador and seeking opportunities to bowl. Beware, she’s a fierce and formidable bowling competitor!
